Completing the SMB printing connection

If you don’t have a Novell network, you can print via SMB printing (also known as Windows printing or WINS printing). Printing by this method allows you to print from your computer to a particular print connection (Hold, Print, or Direct) on the DocuColor 40 CP.

To set up printing to a second or third print connection, you must install a new printer for each connection and repeat the procedure “To set up SMB printing:” on page 15. If you install more than one printer, give each a descriptive name during printer driver installation, such as Astro-Printor Astro-Hold, so you can easily identify printers.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

1.Configure the DocuColor 40 CP for SMB printing in Network Setup>Service Setup>Windows Setup.

SMB printing is referred to as Windows Printing in Setup, on the Control Panel Map, and on the Configuration page. For more information, see the Configuration Guide.

2.Print the DocuColor 40 CP Configuration page.

You need information from the Configuration page to specify settings on your computer, such as the Server Name and IP address of the WINS Name Server.

3.Save any documents in open programs.
